    Uneducated ignorant morons. There isn't a single racist word in the whole thing, which is about aspiration and doing the right thing. And Kipling was a supporter of the Indian people anyway.
    Blog? What blog...?

          They got triggered by another poem of his “White Man's Burden” which apparently:

          Summary. In the famous poem, “White Man's Burden,” the author is suggesting that Imperialism is a very good endeavor the United States should have. Author Rudyard Kipling says: “Take up the White Man's burden” and “To serve your captives' need.”

            Times are changing, and old white men don’t like it.

            Who are the real snowflakes?

              They thought that when Zeus triumphed over the Titans. However, the old white men are still here, and certainly still will be long after you've shuffled off.

                That'll be those who haven't realised that the rules of the game always evolve. Their own actions will come to be condemned in the fullness of time even though they're really really REALLY sure they're doing The Right Thing.

                  Like declaring war with Russia and trying to sabotage the NK peace?

                    I’ve worked with a few Greeks, but I wouldn’t have put them in the archetypical “white” category. Swarthy Mediterranean maybe.

                    Anyway, you’re 97, you’ll be shuffling off long before any of us.....
